Since I was at the Bingo game in Syracuse I'm just now getting a chance to watch a replay of last night's game on GCL. Midway through the 1st I've heard Gary Galley say "Robyn Leonard" about 8 times.

Stone proved he has very good hockey sense, playmaking ability and goal scoring ability in juniors, while having below average skating. Zibanejad did not show the same level of playmaking nor scoring, but was an above average skater. I think Stone has very goood potential and is showing significant skating improvement. Zibanejad showed very good potential last year but is not showing any improvement this year at this time. I like them both and hope both keep improving as they could be great second line players, if not first line, on the team in the near future.
Zibby seems slower to me, but perhaps he is trying to play a more conservative defensive style and covering his man rather than a more offensive style. Perhaps that is what Maclean is asking or directing him to do. I don't know what it is but his game is missing offensive aggressiveness.

Ooops - didn't even notice, but after going back and re-listening I can identify that as Millen. My bad.
Back in Black
All Sports would be great if they were Hockey
Ya, I was disappointed that we got Millen & Cole. Why weren't they on Toronto's CBC broadcast.
Speaking of, that's who were playing next.
LEAFS SUCK!

Interesting note from last night: I believe every player was in the pre game warm up besides Greening unless I just didn't notice him. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
Also, holy moly turn the music down in the warm up. I couldn't hear people right next to me. They also have such garbage EDM bassy wompidy womp music and the system is definitely set to bring out all that bass so anything they play with a lot of treble or guitar riffs sounds absolutely terrible.
Why are we always subject to such awful music in CTC?

Random Observations
Five games in & we have seen some good & some bad but most important is the team is finding ways to win against teams they need to stay ahead of.
- best three rookie players IMO so far are Stone, Ceci & Boro in that order with a game day puck to Hoffman for a great goal & game last night. Penalty shot sucked.
- if Zibanejad doesn't pull up his socks not only will he lose his 2nd line centre job to Legwand. (IMO Legwand should have been the 2nd line centre all yr), but Zibanejad could be in jeopardy of losing his 3rd line centre job to Lazar.
- if Methot gets a new $5 mil contract he can thank the play of Cowen & Wiercioch in their own end. IMO both Ceci & Boro have passed these two & even Gryba has been playing a quiet steady game with the exception of the gaffe last night.
- I've been saying this since the start of the season, put Hoffman, Legwand & Ryan on a line together & create three scoring lines, that is if & when the Zibanejad line start contributing on the score board too.
- I bet most people here as well as Zack Smith was mad as hell at Karlsson for taking a goal away from the rookie Mark Stone last night, I know I was.
- nice to see both goalies playing so well to start the season, Ottawa needs that to continue all yr. Also nice to see Ottawa winning close games, nice change from last yr.

That thought has run through my mind a little.
He looks like he has to try really hard to get moving. Torso often unstable as he strides.

It's also, for better or worse, the preferred music of most of the guys on the team. It's probably more for them to hype up than it is for the crowd.

I wouldn't, IMO Stone has been great so far this season & Ryan has been pretty good whenever he has played on the right side. Chiasson has been alright but he seems to need a playmaker on his line to get him the puck or he needs some puck luck in front of the net to find the rebound & bury it. Not saying he has been bad just alright but Stone is making offensive & defensive plays all over the ice at both ends & that pass to MacArthur for the game winning goal was a beauty. Isn't it nice to see one of my posts where I'm not trying to trade some small, soft player away? Really nice to have a big, tough, fast, skilled team for a change.

Chiasson could have two more points with better luck, he and Ryan got robbed last two games.

For those who have been at one of the homes games this year could you report on how the Red Scarf Union (section 319)?
Have they been noticeable?
I think we could hear them in the home opener but i didn't have the volume on for the game vs CBJ.
